    Me again!

    Does anyone have any ideas for a challenge, this month?

    I propose an ebay one - we haven't done it for a while. Not £50 though, say £20!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Just checked quidco and last month (April) I have saved just over £75. Which is much better than March when it was £1.50.

    Still waiting for bits and peices to payout. I have about a £15 on Topcashback, £15 still waiting from quanti, £20 on betfair that I won't withdraw until they pay my cashback, about £10 on fatcheese waiting to be paid (from November) needless to say, I don't use them anymore!

    I think ebay a good challenge too, cant come up with anything this month sorry,

    I made £10.70 from using vouchers last month so I`m going to do that again.

    I made £1.02 from roadkill, so I`ll keep my eyes peeled on that

    I`ll take up your challenge on ebay Elysia and we`re all fine, just DD stressing us all out, she failing college and they wont have her back next year.
    Some money went missing in work and they suspended her on full pay but now they reinststed her, it was a foreign person who took it.

    And for shopping .com email address, it was
    [EMAIL="gvanlook@shopping.com"]gvanlook@shopping.com[/EMAIL]
    the email came from.

    Have a good break everyone, at least the sun is shining...xx

    Yes, that's the email address I used to contact them and I got a reply the next day.

    I'm up for an Ebay challenge :D I was sorting out the attic today and found a few bags of stuff I'd put aside for Ebay and then forgot about. So you've timed that challenge well, thanks :)

    A massive thank-you, you gave me the kick up the rear to get my ebay stuff photographed and am about to list it today.

    A quick tip (love to take the praise, but heard it on tv), was when you ebay aim to have the listing ending on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon onwards, as more people are at home and your liable to get the last bids in.

    If I do 10days then its Thursday - end Sunday
    Sat /Sat
    Sun/Sun

    Def hope to hit at least £20....... count me in. xx

    Susan I hope it gets sorted out with DD, I moved out at 17 (to my grandmas LOL) and then moved in with my OH a few months later, His mum wasn't happy at all (which is why she still hates me lol) and he only moved from Sheffield to Bradford!

    I thought that the shopping.com reviews had to be done by 1st May but checked yesterday and saw it's the 16th, i'm on 52 reviews at the moment, so i'm going to try aim for 100 :O) xx
